San Jose, California - December 22, 2005 - Miraizon®, a San Jose-based digital media software company, announced today that it has added new functionality to its award-winning DVD movie clip extractor, Cinematize 2, to generate movie files for video iPod units and for sharing on the web. For video iPod users and web page creaters, these new features change what used to be a multi-step process into one single easy step. The newly added output formats include Apple's H.264-based iPod video format for the iPod and the MPEG-4 format for both iPod and web. In addition to these new features, the latest versions -- Cinematize 2.05 for Mac and Cinematize 2.02 for Windows -- include additional new features such as improved compression color control, improved handling of DV Stream export, as well as several fixes.

"We are very pleased to add these important new features to Cinematize 2. The latest versions of Cinematize 2 make it an ideal companion product for the iPod, allowing users to easily extract favorite music or movie clips off of DVDs and transfer them over for listening or viewing on an iPod. The new Cinematize 2 also makes sharing DVD movie clips on the web very easy," said the CEO and founder of Miraizon, David Salamon.
